SOUNDS, DEVICES AND PATCHES
36
The Info section in the left corner can show Song/ReFill splash images and the De-
tails section will show information about the item currently selected in the file and
folder list. Exactly which information is shown depends on the file type. For example,
samples or REX files contains information about the file format and length of the se-
lected file, while a selected song file can display comments from the author (Song In-
formation, see “Song Information”), etc. If the selected file is part of a ReFill, this will
be indicated regardless of the file type.
Audition section
This section contains controls for auditioning samples and REX files - see page 37.
Select Previous/Next arrow buttons
These buttons allow you to move the current file selection up or down in the list. In the
Patch or Sample Browser, a selected file (patch or sample) is automatically loaded in
the background.
Loading indicator
This icon will light up to indicate that a patch or sample is loading. You cannot play or
audition the sound until it is loaded.
Navigating in the Browser
Here, the Patch Browser was opened from a Subtractor device, allowing you to browse for Subtractor
patches.
When navigating in the Browser, items are shown as a hierarchical list in a selected
root folder, just like in your computer finder.
All folders and subfolders within a root folder are shown, but only files of the relevant
type (i.e. songs/samples/patches etc.) can be viewed/selected in the Browser. For ex-
ample, if you have selected to browse samples for a NN-XT device, only audio sam-
ples will be shown in the Browser.
• Click on the plus sign (Win)/arrow (Mac) beside a closed folder to open it. If the
folder contains files of the relevant type, these will be shown.
• Double-clicking a folder in the list opens it as the root folder in the Browser.
• The Name, Modified, and Size columns show the name of the folder or file, the
modified date (files only) and the size (files only), respectively. Clicking on a col-
umn header sorts the files accordingly (i.e. alphabetically, by date saved or by file
size).
• You can use the Back/Forward buttons to move between different locations you
have opened in Browser. When you close the Browser this location list is cleared.
• The “Select Previous/Next” arrow buttons allow you to move between files in the
current list. Folders are skipped.
• The “Where” pop-up list allows you to move up in the folder hierarchy when the
Browser points to a specific folder location (see “About hierarchic and flat lists”
below).
